It’s not true –Army From: TONY JOHN, Port Harcourt Members of the Concerned Militant Leaders (CML) of Niger Delta region have declared that 24 soldiers captured during their encounter with military men on Friday morning would not be released. Also, the CML debunked the claim by the military that seven suspected militants were shot dead during the exchange of gunfire, which occurred along Bakassi Peninsula waterways. Spokesperson of the dreaded militant group, simply identified as General Ben, stated yesterday, that he did not lose any of his combatants, adding that members of the public should discountenance the report. General Ben disclosed that the captured 24 soldiers were onboard a military gunboat Pilot 1, MB12 also known as Thunder Boat. He threatened to “execute them at the appropriate time.” But in a quick reaction, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col Sani Usman, who was contacted on the phone debunked the claim by the militants that they had captured some soldiers. “There is nothing like that,” Usman told Sunday Sun reporter in a text message. The militant leader, General Ben, who claimed to be in control of Bakassi/Calabar territory, admitted that some of his men were severely wounded in the encounter, but not bullet injuries. He said his “rugged boys” were affected by a chemical substance, which was aerially spread by a military aircraft. General Ben declared: “My boys were wounded today, but I didn’t lose any of my men. They (soldiers) will now claim they have killed us. It’s not true. What the plane spread around here I suspect, was acid. It cannot kill us because we know what to do. “We will decide what to do with the 24 soldiers captured. Their Pilot 1, MB12 Thunder Boat is in our custody. This is our territory and they cannot escape from our domain because they have crossed our border. “We have been quiet for a while, studying events in this country. We have discovered that the government does not care how people fare. Instead, the situation is getting worse and out of control on a daily basis,” he said. source: http://sunnewsonline.com/militants-claim-24-soldiers-captured/

I find it difficult to believe the army

army said they killed 7 militants but the only showed us one dead body now the truth is gradually coming out
make una continue to lie it will help us as its already helping us now
maybe they wives will protest very soon

One funny thing here is that all this could have been averted.

Buhari created and demanded this conflict with his words and action and now poor soldiers will suffer and pay the price with their lives.

Nobody wins in war, all are losers.

Nigerian cliamed they killed Shekau, latter fabricated his sustaining injury in a gun duel. Shekau later comes hail n hearty in a video release to debunk their claims.

Long and short of this story is that Nigerian Army is not believable

I swear my brother. cc Lalasticlala

I think we're in for a long media battle between the NA and CML. Can someone start a twitter campaign for them, pls.

Nigerian Army and falsehood are like...where is that Jacob Zuma's photo

.

I thought Buhari the sherrifat is in charge.

If you claim to have captured 24 soldiers, then show us proof. That is what boko haram does.

The CML is a very deadly and dreaded militant group.

They killed more than 10 marine soldiers at Onitsha edge of the river Niger during the may 30 biafra day.

I don't pity the genocidal Nigerian army.

They deserve whatever ever pounding they are receiving.
